Abstract:
Due to the undesired impact of gravity, experimental studies of energy-dissipative gaseous systems are difficult to carry out on ground. In the past several years, we developed a series of experimental devices suitable for various kinds of microgravity platforms. The central idea adopted in our devices is to use long-range magnetic forces to excite all the particles within the system. Through the development of our devices, different component configurations, excitation protocols, and image-capturing methods have been tried and optimized to achieve best excitation and the maximum capability for data analysis.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
